The Sims 4 Update 04/07/2020
Hellos and Bug Fixes
New Features
Sadly, it seems this update only patches a few things without adding any new feature (I'll update this post if I find any other information).
FIXES AND UPDATES
The Sims 4
- Improved compatibility with newer macOS releases, refer to FAQ for more details HERE (Official EA Page)
- Made some small visual and functional improvements to the Main Menu.
- Custom paintings on nearby lots that are taken a picture of from your active lot will now properly flag your lot as custom content when uploading it to the Gallery.
- So sneaky!
- We addressed an issue resulting in a “Conflicting Block Cluster” error message that could occur while building, preventing you from being able to draw or move walls.
- Non-active traited Sims will no longer get the “Not Enough Exercise" tense moodlet.
- Stair railings will no longer appear incomplete when placed against a half-wall.
- Whims are once again able to be completed after Travel.
- Whims are things your Sims want to do, but you don’t have to.
- You can now safely raise or lower the foundation of The Nookstone lot in Oasis Springs - walls, floors, and furniture will no longer disappear.
- The Tutorial will no longer lock if your Sim is promoted before you are given the "You Need to Gain Skill to be Promoted" task.
Get Together
- Fixed a graphic issue that could occur on Mac with some Intel graphics cards that caused plants in Windenburg to appear blocky when in Laptop Mode.
- So if you are on a Mac, with an intel graphics card, and you are in laptop mode, and you are playing in Windenburg… we got you covered.
City Living
- Bulldozing 888 Spire Apartment lots should no longer result in error code 123:28b6ee3b.
- We hope it does not result in error code: 123:456789abcde
- We are fairly certain it should not result in error code: 8675-309
- And under no circumstance should error code 42 occur.
- We are fairly certain it should not result in error code: 8675-309
- We hope it does not result in error code: 123:456789abcde
Cats & Dogs
- The male veterinarian coat now has a properly visible ID badge.
Seasons
- Sims should no longer get the "Chilled" buff when the thermostat is set to warmer.
- Unless you have a heater that turns on and off repeatedly due to a bad switch in the system, and then when it decides to fail completely, it just ignores input for about 3 hours, and then when you wake up in the morning you have to carry a heavy blanket with you… ah hm… nm.
Get Famous
- Actor prep tasks will no longer reset on traveling.
- This is the second travel issue in the game… was it trying to tell us something?
Island Living
- Beaches are available for weddings.
Discover University
- Sims living in dorms should no longer receive high bills to live there.
Spa Day
- The "Take bath with Soaks" and "Take Mud Bath" interactions are once again, once again available on Showertubs.
- This time we won’t have to remove the fix because of… crosses fingers.
Jungle Adventure
- Child sims will no longer get a flirty buff after eating Flutterberry.
Realm of Magic
- Magical Clones will no longer become permanent Sims after traveling.
- Sims can once again resume writing books when their familiars are active.
Tiny Living Stuff
- Tiny Home Residential lots added to vacation worlds via The Gallery will now properly convert into rental lots.

Hi there, I downloaded the 1.61.15.1020 portable but i'm struggling to add any custom content, even when i create a mod folder the game ingores it completely.
Could anyone help me how could i add any custom content? 🙁
thank a lot:)
Hi! The version you mention is very old, sorry.
You should use The Sims 4 All in One Automatic or The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.65.77.1020 instead.
Also, when you run the game, if you open the options menu, there's an option to turn on mods and custom content.
Can I download this update without downloading the Anniversery Hot Tub update or do I need to download the hot tub update first? My latest update was Tiny Living. Thank you
I don't know. You need to follow the instructions when it is related to version numbers. These updates are incremental. You need to have everything including 1.61.15.1020 otherwise use an all in one instead. Thanks
hello im not sure how to really do an update. can you please help me. im confused
What do you mean?
i copied the files in the sims 4 folder update in the sims 4 all in one folder. when i launched it, i dont think it really updated it.
You know this is not Eco Lifestyle, right?
Hi I just want to know if I can use this to update my game. My current version is 1.61.15 I’m kind of confuse thank you
Yes, if you had the previous All in One from my site (or G4TW), you can. Otherwise it may or not work properly, because it would depend on the source you have.
Hey! When I open the folder from my torrent it only has 6 items (Installer, Data, Delta, Game, Support, and dlc) is that normal? Usually when I update my game the folder has more items. Thanks! 🙂
Yes, this is an incremental update, meaning you need to have the previous All in One 1.61 or it won't work. Therefore it's smaller and has less files for faster downloading.
hi i i have a question.. i already download this update and paste it in my game and i can lauch the game and play it.. but after i turn off my pc and i open my pc the next day i can't open the game and it said that it does not have the data and when i open my torrent my game is downloading (the all in one portable v. 1.61). but i already done downloading it? it happens twice so far..
Your anti virus is removing files. You need to handle it then it won't happen again.
hello! thank you so much for all of this. i was just wondering if i am able to go online and view the gallery. i already have the base game on origin.
Hi! You need to have two separate versions. This one in one folder, the Origin one in another. When you run Origin's version you can access the gallery, whatever you save locally from the gallery should become available later on if you run the Portable on the same computer, since the downloaded stuff goes to your
Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4
folder.Hi question should i replace the files with the new ones from the update or should i keep the old ones AND the new ones? thank you in Advance:)
You paste the new files over the old ones, so the update adds new files and replaces some old files with new versions as well.
Yeah but, my computer is sayingIi either have to skip them or replace them or i Have to individually change them.
Ah! If you're being ask that choose the option to replace existing files.
hi, again, I know its extremely late but i don't think I've done the update right, I did the replacing of files and my game still hasn't updated. If you could help that would be great. Thank you soooo much in advance!
I don't know what you have different on your setup. If you're unsure maybe it's better to download The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.62.67.1020 – April 2020 – Hellos and Bug Fixes and follow the instructions VERY closely so you do exactly what's there as a new install. Alternatively, if you don't mind getting Premium Access, you can use The Sims 4 All in One Automatic and also install it from scratch, with the difference that once you set it up, whenever there's something in general to fix or a new update I update it on my end and everybody else that's connected using Yandex Disk will get their game updated/fixed as well.
I have not received my private link to yander
I invited your PayPal email address ☺
I had to put a random PayPal adress because it wouldn't let me use mine I want to use the email that's on my account I also subscribed to your Patreon. My email is 📧
Sent. Thank you very much for subscribing and for your support. You should have your invitation on the correct address now.
I will sleep now. Keep me posted, I'll read your reply tomorrow 😇
i've downloaded this a followed the instructions but still says the same thing about it needed to download a newer version from origin games.
Which version did you download?
i downloaded 1.61.15.1020 and then the updated version
OK.
1. Always kill origin each time before running the game on your task manager;
2. You can delete the file
Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\GameVersion.txt
3. Run the game and check the version number at the bottom of the main screen, so be sure you're running 1.62.67.1020 and no other version.
Please let me know how it turns out. It's important to be running the latest version to avoid issues with your saves, of course.
thank you so much :)) it works
Hello,
Just wondering whether I can download this update and install it on top of my current version (1.60.54.1020). Or should I install each update one by one leading to this current update (1.62.67.1020)?
Thank you.
You can install all the updates between 1.60.54 and the current version, one after the other, in the right order, or you can just download the All in One again.🙂
Since I installed this update windows defender is giving me a different prompt, it only used to ask if I want to allow the app through the firewall but now I'm getting smartscreen prompts. Also since the update I can only play for anout 10-30 minutes before the game freezes and crashes which has never happened up till now
Disable smartscreen and add the folder where your game is to the anti virus real time protection exclusion list, so it does not happen again.
I did disable it but then it brings up another prompt constantly and I still have to give it permission to run, Windows defender is off and the folder is in the exceptions on AVG. Also, what about my game crashing after 10-30 minutes of gameplay every time since the update, I'm using the same mods I've always used and I never had a problem till now
You need to run your game as administrator.
You also need to check if there's an updated version of the mods and CC you're using. Whenever there's a new version of the game some mods may break and in need to be updated too.
Running as admin didn't work but I figured it out. So you can give people this tip in the future. I had to go to the bin folder and I made the application file into a zip file, deleted the original application file and then unzipped the folder and used the application file from there, now it's working. Also thanks for the tip about the mods, a few of them were outdated
Oh? You mean the anti virus removed something because the files being downloaded weren't compressed?
I am glad that you could find out the mods that needed replacement. Keep me posted if the game works well after you play with it for a (maybe not so) few hours 😁
The anti virus didn't remove anything cause I have the folder as an exception, but when I went into the properties of the application file it said it was blocked cause it came from another computer, and I recall the last time I had such a problem I just had to zip the file and then unzip it, then the new unzipped file wasn't "blocked" anymore and wouldn't get stopped by smartscreen.
The game is running perfectly now again after updating the mods and I haven't had a crash since😁
Interesting!!!! Thank you so much for letting us know that it can happen! We can totally learn from your experience for sure! I had no clue that could happen. 💖
Hello friend, I emailed you trying to get this update only. I have been a subscribing member since Feb 14th. I might be confused. When I log into Yandex I only see that file I got from you February 14th. I would like this one! Thank you so much!
Hi! Are you synchronizing it? Because if you are it is updated automatically to 1.62, even before I even launch the torrent, since subscribers have priority and I always update the version on Yandex Disk first.
im having trouble with the update, i thought i synced everything but whenever i start the game afterwards its still the previous version, im not sure what im missing?

Hello.
I recently paid for a premium link to download The Sims 4.
I was sent a link through email yet the link redirects me to a page that states the link has expired 🙁
I’m not too sure whether I should have received an invitation to use Yandex Drive but it seems I haven’t.
If you could help me, I’d be very grateful <3
Hi! I see your account is upgraded and you also have received the invitation from Yandex Disk (I just re-invited you just in case).
Thank you very much ^^
Are you going to be adding in the "get to work" pack as well? This would be amazing if so!
This is an update only version. The All in One has everything, including Get to Work: The Sims 4 All in One Portable 1.62.67.1020 – April 2020 – Hellos and Bug Fixes
hello! i downloaded this update, and I had the all in one 1.61 update before. I installed the update correctly , but when I try to start the game, it says OrangeEmu64.dll was not found. I also saw that some things in the patch folder under 2 program files - the sims 4- game- bin-, there were some other missing files, unlike my previous game folder. please help
Your error happens when an anti virus (including windows defender, which comes with windows) removes a file or two from your installation. You need to check it's history / quarantine and restore / allow whatever was removed / blocked.
Hi! Thank you for your hard work.
I have a question: can I download Origin and play games for it, while still owning your version of The Sims 4 in my computer?
I want to play MySims but first I want to make sure downloading Origin won't affect my TS4 game.
Hope you can help!! Have a good day
Yes, you can do that! That's why I instruct everybody to always install the game on C:\Program Files or anywhere else but the Origin folders, to avoid overlap.
You just need to remember to kill origin each time before playing and also to run the correct exe file to play with the All in One modded version.
So I can not only play other Origin games, but I can install the Origin version of TS4 too??? (as long as I install it in another folder and kill Origin each time) I'm sorry for asking again, I think I got it but I want to be 100% sure
Yes, you can! And you can use the official gallery with your Origin's version of the game. Just keep in mind that you need to have All in One and Origin's version installed on separate folders and you'll have no issues.
hey, I´ve got the 61.15 version from g4tw. would your repack work with it? if so how do I download it?
hope you can help :/
Hi. It will work only if you have all the DLC installed. Otherwise I don't know because I did not test (it should, but I am unsure). I don't understand the other part of your question (how to download), you will follow the instructions on my post and download as usual using your torrent client. 🙂
It´s just that I can´t find the torrent link. Whenever I click where it says download it takes me to some infolinks page and there´re no files, only adds. 🙁
I just tested it and there's nothing forwarding you to infolinks from this page. Games4TheWorld Forum uses Infolinks, my items are not using it at the moment (except for their ones that I feature on my site).
My link will open the link decoder, which is part of my website, then you wait for it to be decoded, you click on continue when it's ready, a pop up with instructions opens, so you know that if you're opening a magnet that your torrent client should be activated by your browser or you should get a notification from your browser to do so.
Also, you need to have Tixati or any other torrent client of your preference.
